This activity helps students practice the negative form of the present perfect continuous using haven’t been and hasn’t been + verb-ing. Learners complete sentences about themselves and their family, such as I haven’t been…, My mother hasn’t been…, or My friends haven’t been…. They think about real actions they have not been doing recently, which makes the grammar more meaningful and personal.
Make the sentences negative. Use “haven’t been / hasn’t been”

By writing true sentences, students review when to use haven’t and hasn’t and how to add the correct verb with -ing. This exercise also encourages them to talk about their own lives and daily routines in a simple way. It is a clear and easy activity for A1–A2 learners to understand negative sentences in the present perfect continuous.
